The scene starts off with the two Sonic’s walking out of the now fully-colored Green Hill entrance in White Space, talking about some future adventures.
Classic Sonic: “Wow…so I get to visit TWO different magic book worlds, and fight genies and knights?”
Modern Sonic: “You betcha! Definitely some of my more interesting adventures!”
Classic Sonic: “Right! I’m already eager to see all the sights!”
Modern Sonic: “Mm-hm! I would love to head back to those worlds at some point!”
Modern Sonic: “But first, let’s get back on track. Starting with this.”
Modern Sonic (Or MS for short) points his thumb at the Green Hill entrance, which Classic Sonic (CS for short) stares at curiously.
Classic Sonic: “...So, you summoned this entrance with that clock hand?”
Modern Sonic: “It wasn’t intentional, but yes. Though, it was all ghostly white at first.”
Modern Sonic: “Like something sucked all the life and color out of it.”
Classic Sonic: “Weird…then, why is it normal now?”
Modern Sonic: “Beats me. But I guess it’s a hint that we’re doing something right.”
Modern Sonic: “That clocktower, on the other hand, is a bigger mystery.”
The two Sonic’s walk up to the broken clocktower, and CS inspects it for a moment as they talk.

Classic Sonic: “Hmm…it’s definitely ancient…and dusty, too…”
Classic Sonic: “Got any ideas where it comes from, or what it’s about?”
Modern Sonic: “Not much, but I figure it’s probably from some long dead civilization with advanced technology.”
Modern Sonic: “And this COULD have something to do with that time…eater…”
Classic Sonic: “Time eater?”
Classic Sonic: “Well, it definitely sounds better than ‘that shadow beast’ or whatever.”
Classic Sonic: “Still…we can’t really figure out much…”
Classic Sonic: “But I’m sure once we find your Tails, he’ll figure it out without breaking a sweat.”
Modern Sonic: “No doubt about that! You’d be happy to know how much he’s grown over time!”
Modern Sonic: “He even managed to save an entire city from Eggman, all on his own!”
Classic Sonic: “Really? That’s awesome!”
Modern Sonic: “Definitely! I’m proud of my little bro!”
CS smiles at MS’ words, before suddenly perking up a bit, and going up to the older hedgehog.
Classic Sonic: “Hey! I think I have an idea for what to do next!”
Modern Sonic: “Oh? Nice! What is it?”
Classic Sonic: “I’ll show you, once you hand me that clock hand!”
Though slightly confused at what CS may be suggesting, MS goes ahead with the request and hands the clock hand over to his younger self, who then moves forward a bit, and points it forward proudly.
Classic Sonic: “Take us to Tails!”
…
…Nothing happens for a couple of seconds, which leads to CS looking at the clock hand, slightly annoyed, and MS walks up to him.
Modern Sonic: “I’m gonna guess your idea was to summon an entrance that would help us find Tails?”
Classic Sonic: “Yeah…that was what I came up with…”
Classic Sonic: “After all, when you summoned that Green Hill entrance, you just wanted some way out of here, right?”
Modern Sonic: “That was the case. I didn’t really think too hard on where to go.”
Classic Sonic: “Right! So I thought that if we focused on a specific area or goal to head towards, then we’d be able to find your friends!”
Classic Sonic: “Yet, it didn’t seem to work for me at all!”
Modern Sonic: “Relax. Maybe since these areas are all from MY past, I’m the only one who can summon these entrances?”
Classic Sonic: “Eh…I guess that makes sense.”
Classic Sonic: “Here. You give it a shot.”
MS nods with a smile, as CS hands the clock hand back to him. Then, pointing it forward, the older hedgehog closes his eyes, trying to focus on where to go. Meanwhile, CS backs up a bit, eager to see if it’ll work.
Modern Sonic: “...Take me to my best friend.”
After saying that, the clock hand has a strong cyan glow, and then fires off an energy shot that falls next to Green Hill. The feedback of firing it off causes MS to be knocked back a bit, but he quickly recovers, and CS comes to him to check if he’s alright. But after that, the two are focused on the new entrance being summoned…a ghostly-white construction area with caution signs and what appears to be liquid containers…
https://preview.redd.it/kqdo7jeb8qqa1.jpg?width=470&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=021c623be1efe2984455447bfd5f1659efae582a
Already, the two Sonic’s recognize this area as the Chemical Plant from their adventure on Westside Island. But while MS smiles at it, CS looks a little uncomfortable.
Modern Sonic: “Heh…of course it’s an area from Westside Island…”
Classic Sonic: “And of all the places to choose from, it goes with this…”
Modern Sonic: “Come on! It was fun running around this place! Especially with all those boost-pads and winding tubes!”
Classic Sonic: “Sure, but there was also all that Megamak! Which I almost drowned in before!”
Classic Sonic: “Heck, if not for Tails’ help, I’m certain I wouldn’t be here right now!”
Modern Sonic: “Right…I DO remember that part…”
Modern Sonic: “But we’ve both gotten better since then! And our best bud’s in there, so we gotta head in!”
Classic Sonic: “Yeah, yeah…I’m still going.”
Classic Sonic: “And maybe if I’m lucky, I won’t even have to touch that pink water?”
Modern Sonic: “Here’s hoping! And I’ve got your back all the way!”
While still having an uneasy expression, CS at least looks a little more confident after hearing MS’ words, and then the two of them head over to the entrance, ending the scene…
​
Okay! Don’t have much to say here that I didn’t already with the previous scenes, so let’s get to the next zone!
​
CHEMICAL PLANT (SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2)
While levels like Casino Night, Mystic Cave, and Metropolis would have been cool picks for Sonic 2 representation, I think Chemical Plant was the best pick. It’s iconic, people love it (Before it got overused to hell and back), the aesthetic and music are great, and this level in the actual game is tons of fun! Especially for Modern Sonic!
But like with Green Hill, there’s not much I need to change due to the original level already being great. Other than just extending the length a bit (Particularly for Classic Sonic), and maybe adding one or two new things in there. So, let’s move on to the next scene!
And yes, you can play whichever act you want in any order, like in the original game, which will have slight changes for the next scene when you complete both. Though, I won’t cover both versions, and instead just focus on one specifically.
Scene 08: Fox Rescue (Classic Version)
https://preview.redd.it/somvpf3g9qqa1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edb2dbb08b768ea5fc134978e777c8095f03a9ec
In Chemical Plant, the two Sonic’s are going around, looking for anything out of place, while smashing badniks and doing different tricks. Modern Sonic (MS) is traversing the tall structures while Classic Sonic (CS) is running across the winding tubes and platforms below, looking more impatient than his older counterpart. But eventually, the two stop at an area with a nearby pool of Megamak, and already, CS is eager to voice his complaints.
Classic Sonic: “Jeez! I wasn’t expecting it to be easy, but I figured we’d find SOMETHING note-worthy around here by now!”
Classic Sonic: “It feels like we’ve been running in circles for HOURS!”
Modern Sonic: “Admittedly, I was hoping it’d be quicker than this. Maybe we need to search in places that we wouldn’t normally bother with?”
Classic Sonic: “Like what? Pretty sure we’ve checked everything!”
Modern Sonic: “Even the Megamak?”
MS points his thumb at the body of pink water, which immediately causes CS to shiver a bit, and quickly go back to his annoyed expression.
Classic Sonic: “No way! I’m not going in there!”
Classic Sonic: “Besides, you must have taken some swimming lessons in the future, right?”
Modern Sonic: “Ehhh…I think I can better traverse it nowadays…”
Modern Sonic: “And who knows? Maybe there’s a bubble shield somewhere?”
Classic Sonic: “Maybe, but…?”
Out of the corner of his eye, CS notices something floating around in the water, and points it out to MS curiously.
Classic Sonic: “Hey…what’s that?”
Also having a curious look on his face, MS directs his gaze to where CS is pointing, and sees what’s floating around in the water…something that looks like…a white statue with…two tails…? Once they notice that, they both perk up, now knowing what or who it is.
C & M Sonic: “Tails!”
Modern Sonic: “Wait, why does he look-”
Before MS can finish his sentence, CS suddenly dashes across the Megamak pool in order to grab Tails, seemingly not paying attention to his surroundings and focusing entirely on rescuing his best bud. This surprises the older hedgehog, but he can’t help but smile a bit, seeing his younger self ignore his fears in order to help someone in need.
https://preview.redd.it/hhy2yuhn9qqa1.jpg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1195604fe2cf5335009f9942aa6d684908a6291c
Once he reaches Tails, CS moves a hand out to grab him and succeeds. However, on his way back to MS on solid ground, he doesn’t notice a few Grabbers attached to the ceiling above the pink water that then try to…well…grab him. And one of them succeeds, which causes CS to panic, and call out to MS, who’s starting to get worried.
https://preview.redd.it/07b6l5yr9qqa1.jpg?width=529&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19d5d9423568ae5b963b2393e4b9c4fda3f91638
Classic Sonic: “A little help over here!?”
Modern Sonic: “Hang on! I’ll get you two!”
In a flash, MS speeds across the water without issue, and then starts performing some homing attacks on the Grabbers, making his way over to CS and Tails. The former has a bit of an amazed look on his face when watching his older self’s cool move. However, the Grabber holding him and Tails explodes before the older hedgehog can reach them.
Panicking, CS is about to fall into the Megamak with Tails, but MS manages to swiftly catch them by speeding across the water just before they can end up submerged in pink liquid, and arrives back at solid ground, gently putting Tails and CS down and checking to see if the latter is okay.
He’s a little hurt and shaken up, but looks overall okay.
Modern Sonic: “You okay?”
Classic Sonic: “Y-Yeah…thanks…”
Classic Sonic: “But…what did you do back there?”
Modern Sonic: “Homing Attack! Pretty useful move, huh?”
Classic Sonic: “Definitely…you didn’t even need a golden shield to do it!”
Modern Sonic: “Yep! Took a while to master it, but at this point, it’s effortless!”
Modern Sonic: “Though, I’ll have to teach you how to do it later…”
Now with a concerned expression, MS turns his attention over to Tails, with CS doing the same as he gets up. They can now see that, much like the entrance to this area, the young fox boy is frozen and without a spot of color on him other than ghostly white. He’s also stuck in a frightened pose.
Modern Sonic: “He’s completely frozen…and he felt weightless when I grabbed him back there…”
Modern Sonic: “Guess that Time Eater’s portal turned him into…this…”
Modern Sonic: “And…the others may be stuck in a similar state, too…”
Classic Sonic: “Now’s not the time to ponder that. We gotta turn him back to normal.”
Modern Sonic: “Right. The clock hand will fix him.”
Taking the clock hand out from behind him, MS points it at the frozen Tails, ready to fire.
Modern Sonic: “Restore my friend to normal!”
…
…This time, the clock hand doesn’t do anything for MS, which makes him clearly aggravated as he stares at it.
Modern Sonic: “Why isn’t it doing anything? It worked back in White Space!”
Classic Sonic: “Here. Maybe it’ll work for me?”
MS throws the clock hand over to CS, looking hopeful. Then, CS attempts to do the same thing with the clock hand. However, before he’s about to say anything, it’s already glowing with cyan energy, and fires, causing CS to be knocked off his feet for a moment. MS helps him up, but the two see that this time, it actually worked.

Modern Tails (MT for short) is now back to normal, and when fully conscious, he tries to process what just happened and what’s around him.
Modern Tails: “Wha…? Where am I-”
However, he’s unable to finish as MS immediately hugs him, relieved to see his best friend is okay.
Modern Sonic: “Man, am I glad to see you’re alright! I was really worried about you!”
Modern Tails: “H-Heh…right…me too…”
The two keep the hug going for a bit longer, before soon breaking out of it, and MT takes a moment to notice his surroundings.
Modern Tails: “We’re at the Chemical Plant? It feels like forever since we went through this place…”
Modern Tails: “And…?”
Before MT can continue, he sees CS, where both are looking at each other curiously. Though, the former’s more confused than curious.
Modern Tails: “Uhhh…why is there another you?”
Modern Sonic: “Despite the different look, he’s basically my younger self.”
Classic Sonic: “We don’t know what it’s about.”
Modern Tails: “Huh…guess that explains why we’re here…”
Modern Tails: “So, that creature is messing with time?”
Modern Sonic: “We’re calling it the Time Eater.”
Modern Sonic: “And this is definitely one of the biggest threats we’ve faced yet.”
Classic Sonic: “One of? What kinds of creatures do I face in the future that come near the level of a time god?”
Modern Sonic: “Oh, Perfect Chaos, the Biolizard, Metal Overlord, Dark Gaia…”
Modern Sonic: “...I THINK that’s all the note-worthy ones? I feel like I’m missing one here.”
Modern Tails: “Regardless, this…’Time Eater’ definitely has the capabilities to tear space and time apart.”
Modern Tails: “Come to think of it…how did you two get here? And what’s with that clock hand?”
MT points at the clock hand in CS’ hands, who decides to give it to him as MS explains.
Modern Sonic: “Well, after that thing kidnapped you and the others, I woke up in some empty white space.”
Modern Sonic: “All that was there was this broken clocktower with ancient language written on it. And one of the pieces that fell off of it was that clock hand.”
Modern Sonic: “For some reason, when I think of a place or goal to get to, it can summon an entrance to an area from my past in order to find what I need.”
Modern Sonic: “Which is how I found him.”
MS points his thumb at CS, who nods.
Classic Sonic: “Yep. And I used that clock hand to free you from your weird white statue state.”
Modern Tails: “Huh…this is definitely interesting…”
Modern Tails: “If I could make a guess, I’d say that whatever’s left of the concept of time and space now is these entrances.”
Modern Tails: “Plus, it could also explain why two Sonic’s are able to coexist at the same time.”
Classic Sonic: “Okay, but why do we look different?”
Modern Tails: “Beats me. For all I know, it’s just because of the energy involved in this time mess.”
Modern Sonic: “You mean like…us looking different is just our vision being messed with? To help us distinguish which Sonic is which?”
Modern Tails: “That could be it. But let’s try to get back on track here.”
Classic Sonic: “Right. But you know…something has been on my mind ever since that Time Eater showed up…”
Classic Sonic: “When it did that purple flash thing…I felt a strong amount of Chaos Energy…”
Modern Sonic: “Same here back at the party.”
Modern Sonic: “Plus, I can feel a bit of it in that clocktower, too.”
Modern Tails: “Hmm…if that’s the case, then the Chaos Emeralds are likely involved, too.”
Modern Tails: “Either they’re being used by that beast, or they’ve been scattered across different points in time, and their energy is affecting everything to some extent due to the state of the world.”
Modern Sonic: “If it’s the former, that would definitely explain why we got our butts handed to us on a silver platter.”
Modern Sonic: “But we can speculate on everything later, when we head back to White Space and investigate that clocktower. We wasted enough time here.”
Classic Sonic: “Agreed. I nearly ended up in that Megamak pool, and I DON’T want to drown again.”
Modern Tails: “Mm-hm. I’m already feeling a bit nervous just looking at it. And this smell is horrible.”
MS nods, and the three start to head off. However, before they can, a sudden purple portal appears nearby, surprising them.
Modern Tails: “Ah! Not again!”
Modern Sonic: “Quick! Grab onto something!”
Immediately, MS, CS, and MT try to grab onto anything nearby that’ll keep them from being caught. However, nothing seems to happen, and when they realize that, they look back at the portal, and approach cautiously.
Classic Sonic: “Okay…guess we have a choice this time around…”
Modern Tails: “...”
MT squints at the area being shown inside the portal.
Modern Tails: “Is this…?”
Before the young fox can say anything about it, a voice that sounds similar to his is heard from inside the portal. MS and MT are confused, but CS looks surprised and worried, likely recognizing the voice.
???: “Ah! No! Stop chasing me!”
???: “Come on! What can I do to get out of here!?”
???: “HEY! LET ME GO!”
Classic Sonic: “Tails!”
Once again, without thinking, CS rushes right into the portal, with MS and MT attempting to stop him.
Modern Sonic: “Hey! Wait a sec-!”
Just before MS can touch the portal, it closes and disappears, leaving him and MT concerned for the younger hedgehog’s safety.
Modern Tails: “Well…he definitely likes to rush into danger as much as you do…”
Modern Sonic: “Pretty sure I’m not THAT brash nowadays…”
Modern Sonic: “But knowing me, he’ll probably be fine. And maybe we can figure out a way to find him, or he’ll do something to get back to us?”
Modern Tails: “Here’s hoping. But let’s just get back to this White Space, and figure out what we can about the situation.”
Despite still having that concerned look, MS nods with a slight smile, and the duo head off, ending the scene…
​
Now let’s cover some of the stuff here.
First of all, we actually get to see the characters talk about the area they’re in! Sure, something like this happened in the actual game, but this time, there’s gonna be a cutscene like this for every level here! Plus, more interactions with Sonic’s friends, and which leads to the boss fight for the level! Much more interesting and fun!
Second, if Modern Sonic can summon areas to go to in White Space, then I wanna give Classic Sonic something important to do in order to justify his existence here in the plot. So, he’s the one who can free the frozen friends. Both have equal importance!
I think that’s all I wanted to cover here, so let’s get a move on to the scene after this that leads to the next boss fight!
​
Scene 09: Trapped Aboard The Death Egg!
https://preview.redd.it/cx5rgbg7aqqa1.jpg?width=321&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b1fd0caf11a5534e7d2d3065fb88f2391dd8eb4
The scene starts off with Classic Sonic (CS) jumping out of the purple portal, arriving at a facility with brownish walls, light gray platforms, caution signs, and many mechanical machines and parts throughout. Looking around, the young hedgehog is able to figure out where he is, despite his concern for his best buddy.
Sonic: “This place…great…”
Sonic: “Here I was, hoping I’d never have to set foot on the Death Egg ever again.”
Sonic: “But if it means finding Tails, then I’ll deal with it.”
Not taking any more time to pause and think, Sonic runs through the orbital space station, looking around for any sign of a two-tailed fox.
Sonic: “The first time I got here, I had no rings or help to rely on when I fought Robotnik.”
Sonic: “And the second time was better, but all that anti-gravity stuff made my head spin.”
Sonic: “Though, it doesn’t seem like anything’s here at all. Not a single badnik, even.”
Sonic: “Not that I’m gonna complain. It just means I’ll have an easier time finding what I want.”
Eventually, after navigating a few more hallways and rooms, Sonic arrives at an open area, with a metallic floor, machines working nearby, and a large glass window with a view of the planet below. But what really catches Sonic’s attention is a small laser cage containing his young fox friend, who lights up when he sees his hero has come to rescue him.
https://preview.redd.it/sbi4i77laqqa1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccc220cc06002a496235cac911f0c80f57c5d87b

Tails: “Sonic! I’m so glad you’re here!”
Sonic: “And I’m glad you’re just caged up right now! But how did you get here?”
As Sonic goes up to the laser prison, and scans it while walking around it to figure out how to turn it off, Classic Tails (CT for short) explains.
Tails: “Well, I was just working on some machines back at my workshop while eating mint-candies!”
Tails: “But then I saw some weird purple flash from my window, and when it hit me, I was just…here.”
Sonic: “Figures. Something similar happened to me. And you wouldn’t believe what came later!”
Tails: “Hehe! I’m certain I’ll see once we get out of here!”
Sonic: “No doubt about that!”
Sonic: “Though, I gotta ask who or what put you in this laser cage. I didn’t see a single badnik or soul on my way here.”
Tails: “Oh! That was-”
Tails doesn’t finish, as both he and Sonic are distracted by a familiar voice coming from the com-systems in the Death Egg.
Robotnik: “Hehehehehe! Like a moth drawn to a flame! You really are too easy to lure in, hedgehog!”
Sonic: “Tch! Well, I couldn’t just let you do whatever you wanted with my best friend!”
Sonic: “Now, why don’t you show yourself, and we can get to the part where you lose?”
Robotnik: “Oh, it’s SO cute that you think you have the advantage here! Especially when you’re on MY turf!”
Robotnik: “And with your mutant pet in time-out, you have no-one to get you out of trouble!”
Tails: “You really think this’ll be any different from all your other plans, Robotnik!? Sonic will always take you down! With or without help!”
Robotnik: “Ah, so much misplaced faith, fox boy…I got something in store for your precious hero!”
Classic Sonic: “Really now? What lame machine are you recycling this time?”
Classic Sonic: “That silly drill car? That seal who’s nose doubled as a balloon? Or maybe that overgrown Moto-Bug with treads?”
Robotnik: “Please! I know when to bring out the big guns! Especially when in more familiar territory!”
Robotnik: “Now, get a load of THIS!”
Without warning, the metal floor below Sonic and Tails separates, opening up a hole that leads to the lower floors. The hedgehog jumps back, and the fox’s laser prison moves out of the way on it’s own, as if directed to do so. Once it’s finished, Sonic stares down in curiosity, not noticing a shiny-silver machine with similar features to the hedgehog standing behind him, glaring down with a single red eye.
https://preview.redd.it/l2lmea3yaqqa1.jpg?width=980&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=98b78cc4cc7f76748807790feb460fe95fd75109
Panicking, Tails shouts out to Sonic.
Tails: “SONIC! BEHIND YOU!”
Sonic: “Wha-!?”
Just as he turns around, Sonic is grabbed by Mecha Sonic Mk l, struggling to get out of it’s cold, mechanical hands. He ends up having to kick his metal-plated clone in the face, which gets him out, but he ends up falling into the hole, and the machine follows by jumping in. Meanwhile, Tails stares at the hole with worry, but is certain his hero will make it through in the end.
Then, we go back to Sonic falling down to the lower floor, who does a few maneuvers across the different structures as he gets there, eventually landing safely. Though, he takes a breather for a moment, but just as he’s ready to go, Mecha Sonic Mk l lands down with an audible thud.
https://preview.redd.it/86df78b4bqqa1.jpg?width=1067&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=30663d35807ec6736c91972c24ac7562db6461b7
This startles the young hedgehog for a moment, as he looks back to face him, having a small smirk.
Sonic: “Heh! So Eggman brought you back from the garbage heap, Mecha Sonic!”
Sonic: “Or was it Robo Sonic? It’s hard to remember, since most of you copy-hogs aren’t anything of note!”
The machine stays silent, as it prepares to charge at Sonic. So, turning around towards the nearby hallway, he speeds off. Though, just as Mecha Sonic Mk 1’s about to follow, it gets a call from Robotnik.
Robotnik: “Wait here, Mecha Sonic. He won’t escape us.”
Without any resistance or sign of annoyance, the machine does as ordered and stands idle. His red eye staring right at the camera as the scene comes to a close, and the fight with the Death Egg Robot begins…
Okay! Let’s discuss the changes!
For some reason, Classic Tails was just…there in the original Generations. It’s not explained how he got there or anything. So, I’m changing that right now! Plus, since we’re on the Death Egg, I figured Mecha Sonic Mk l could be brought back! Along with some references to past bosses! It’s all in good fun!
But with that taken care of, let’s get to the second boss fight!
​
DEATH EGG ROBOT (SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2)
Obviously being the most infamous boss in Sonic 2, and already being featured in the actual game, we had to include it here! Though, since it’s not the first boss fight this time around, we can make it a little more exciting and challenging!
The 1st Phase of the fight has the Death Egg Robot chasing Sonic down a hallway, in a similar vein to Sonic Mania in the future. He’ll shoot his extendable arms at you, shoot out some Eggman bombs, and occasionally jump up to stomp on you. And like Sonic Mania, you’ll have to jump onto his extendable arms after he attacks in order to hit his head.
After 3 hits, the Death Egg Robot will fly ahead, which leads to the elevator sequence from the original fight. Only this time, Mecha Sonic Mk l is here and participates in the fight. Basically, after doing what he does in the original fight, alongside shooting the Eggman bombs too, and getting hit once, he’ll fly into the air and have Mecha Mk l fight Sonic head on.
He does stuff like spinning around in a spiky ball, speed towards Sonic on the ground, shoot out spikes in the air, and even fly around a bit, before striking down to hit Sonic. However, after doing that last move, he’ll struggle to get his fist out of the floor, leaving him open to getting hit in the face. After that happens, the mecha menace will fly up and the Death Egg Robot will land back down on the floor to do his attacks again.
Then, after 3 more hits, Mecha Sonic Mk l starts to malfunction as the elevator floor reaches the top area from the original fight (With Classic Tails in the background, watching in his laser prison) and the Death Egg Robot would end up stomping on the robot, destroying it. This also sends Sonic onto the platforms with the timed bombs like in the original fight, which would play out the same as the original fight for the final phase.
He still mainly attacks via his extendable hands, but will sometimes send out Eggman bombs that’ll land onto the platforms, obstructing Sonic’s progress and hurting him when he runs into them. But after hitting a bomb, he’ll malfunction, and Sonic will ride the arm in order to land a hit on the head. Do this two more times, and the fight is over.
It’s not that much more complicated compared to the original fight, but it’s definitely a nice step-up. Now to the scene that plays afterwards.
​
Scene 10: Dead-Ends!
https://preview.redd.it/ux6ekjugbqqa1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b38d4f80e4329b7c8046fd305b99fb9533c17ab
At the same open area of the Death Egg, the busted remains of Mecha Sonic Mk l and the Death Egg Robot are seen. Robotnik also crawls out of the mech’s cockpit, coughing a bit and laying down on the ground exhausted and worse for wear.
As for Classic Sonic (CS), he gets right to destroying the laser prison via a spin attack, freeing Classic Tails (CT) and he expresses his gratitude.
Classic Tails: “Thanks for the save, Sonic! I really wish I could have helped out back there!”
Classic Sonic: “Eh. It wasn’t easy, but if I could take them down on my own before, I could easily do it now.”
Classic Sonic: “At least this time, you got to see the action!”
Classic Tails: “Mm-hm! You were amazing as always!”
CS smiles at CT’s words, and the two share a quick fist-bump, before turning their attention over to Robotnik, who sits up, still tired and looking irritated. The two heroes approach the doctor, eager to interrogate him. Though, the round scientist puts a hand behind his back, which holds a remote with a red button on it.
Classic Tails: “Alright, Robotnik! What are you up to this time?”
Robotnik: “Wasn’t it obvious a minute ago? Crushing the hedgehog, of course!”
Classic Sonic: “Yeah, pretty sure it’s more than just a personal grudge. We meant what your endgame is here.”
Robotnik: “Tch! What makes you think I’ll tell you anything?”
Classic Sonic: “Well, maybe it’s because WE’RE now in control of the situation? You certainly don’t have anymore junk piles to rely on!”
Robotnik: “Please! You have NOTHING to use against me! Unless you want to ‘cross that line?’”
Classic Sonic: “Obviously not! But we’ll definitely take you with-”
CS is unable to finish as he and CT are distracted by alarms blaring, red lights flashing, and everything around them starting to explode and/or fall apart. All the while, a robotic voice is heard on the coms.
“SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCE INITIATED. T-MINUS 1 MINUTE.”
Classic Sonic: “Wha-!? Okay, you better turn that…?”
When CS and CT look back at Robotnik, they find that he’s completely vanished, and they’re confused.
Classic Tails: “Where did he go!?”
Classic Sonic: “It doesn’t matter! We gotta get out of here NOW!”
Grabbing CT’s hand, CS rushes around in a panic, desperately trying to find some method of escape. However, all the ships are inoperable, and there’s no signs of a teleporter or anything that can help them survive the explosion. So, they’re very worried.
Classic Sonic: “Darn it! There’s nothing we can use to get out of here!”
Classic Tails: “Maybe…maybe I can fix something!?”
Classic Sonic: “We may be quick, Tails, but not THAT quick!”
Classic Tails: “But-!?”
Suddenly, a cyan-colored energy portal appears near CS and CT, where they see Modern Sonic (MS) and Modern Tails (MT) noticing the situation, and immediately beckoning them to head in.
Modern Sonic: “C'mon! Before you two get fried!”
Without hesitation, the two young heroes dash right into the portal, which closes quickly afterwards. And then, we get a wide shot of the entire Death Egg in space, before it explodes in a similar manner to Sonic Forces, ending the scene…
​
Pretty close call, huh? There’s nothing I can really say here, so when we get to the next post, we’ll get to the next scene, along with the next stage for the Genesis Era!

The Coral Pokemon
Regional Corsola, the Coral Pokemon, is a Water and Steel type that has evolved to thrive in its regional environment. Unlike its Johtonian counterparts, Regional Corsola has developed stronger legs instead of arms, allowing it to move quickly and gracefully through the water.
One of the most striking features of Regional Corsola is the steely jagged spikes that sprout from its branches. These spikes are incredibly sharp and make Regional Corsola a fierce and aggressive opponent in battle. When confronted with something it doesn't like, Regional Corsola charges headfirst, using its powerful legs and sharp spikes to take down its opponent.
Despite its aggressive nature, Regional Corsola is also known for its unique beauty. Every Corsola is unique in the size and shape of the antler-like branches on its face, which are used to attract mates and intimidate rivals.
Regional Corsola is based on both staghorn coral and elk horn coral.
